well, from my experience with vim it is better
to distribute utilities in an extra archive,
something like "mutt-contrib-yymmdd.tar.gz".

i'd rather not bundle mutt with all utilities.  after all,
many people might not have a need for these at all.

what's needed is better documentation with hint for download,
installation, configuration, setup examples and links to webpages.
